Opportunities

Interested in joining the Kim lab?  Click here for quick tips on how to contact me for both grad school and undergrad opportunities. In general, sending me a cover letter describing your research interests, unofficial copies of transcripts, and CV are enough to get the conversation going! For specific opportunities, see below.

Undergraduate helpers (OPEN)
IMG_5771We are always looking for undergraduate helpers for the summer and academic school year.  We study how land management affects plant-insect interactions such as herbivory and pollination. Enthusiasm for insect conservation, ecology, and/or sustainable agriculture is desired and experience with research and knowledge of insect biology and ecology is preferred.
 
Pay rate: $13-$15/hr depending on experience.
 
If interested, please contact Dr. Tania Kim (tkim@ksu.edu) with a cover letter, CV and copies of transcripts.
